Scores of the All Progressives Congress (APC) members in Ose and Akoko South-West Local Governments in the North senatorial district of Ondo State have dumped the party for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as Governor Olusegun Mimiko announced multiple projects for the district at the PDP campaign rallies which ended in the area on Thursday.

Addressing a rally in Owo, Governor Mimiko, who led the PDP campaign to Owo Local Government Area of the state, declared that the contract for street light in the town would be awarded soon.

He said he would use his link with the Federal Government to ensure that the rehabilitation of the Ikare-Oke Agbe road, which actually was a federal road, was completed and thus, charged that President Jonathan needed their votes to enable him to complete the ongoing transmission of the sub-station project in Oke –Agbe.

At the campaign rally with unimaginable large crowd held at Oke Mapo area of the ancient town of Owo, Mimiko said it was more profitable to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan and other PDP candidates in the state, stressing that Jonathan deserved a second term because of his performances despite economic and security challenges.
